To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN Cnnws Rose, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Hickory Valley, in the county of Hardeman and State of Tennessee, have invented a new and Improved Paint-Pot, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention is an improvement in painters buckets or pots, having -for its purpose suitable heating means in connection` therewith to keep the paint hot at the time it is applied, the construction of the pot being such as not to interfere with carrying it about or using the same in the ordinary manner.

In the present construction of paint pots Y no provision is made for heating the pigment,

oil, etc. of which the paint is made, before the same is ap lied to the wood or other surface. By app ying the paint cold it does not penetrate the object treated to a depth suflicient to take a permanent anchorage, which is necessaryT if the paint is to withstand the elements any reasonable length of time.

I have discovered that by applying the paint to surfaces, especially wood, when the paint is ina heated condition, it will pene` trate the pores to a greater depth than cold paint, and as a consequence be more durable and provide a better preservative.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a'part of this specication, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts invall the views.

Figure 1 is a central vertical section through a paint pot or bucket embodying my invention g Fig. 2 is a lan of the same; Fig. 3 is a cross-section su stantially on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1 g and Fig. 4 is a fragmentary view of the body of the pot, illustrating the manner in which the two sections thereof are detachably connected.

The body of the pot is preferably constructed of sheet metal, in two sections, a lower section 5 and an up er section 6, the two sections being detacha ly connected together by providing in the edge of one, preferably the lower section, L-sha )ed slots 7 which are adapted to be engage by pins 8 projecting at opposite sides from the other section. `The lower section contains a fuel reservoir 9 which forms the bottom thereof, and is provided with a burner 10 having the usual wick-controlling device 11 projecting to the outside.

The upper section of the body of the pot has a vessel 12 for holding the paint, which extends from the top thereof to a point removed from the bottom-of this section of the body, leaving sufficient space therebetween for the rece tion of a mat 13 of asbestos or other suitab e insulating material. The mat prevents the direct contact of the iiame of the lamp with the paint vessel and avoids the burning of the pigment and oil, and also the danger of explosion or lire. The mat is provided with a number of marginal openings 14 which lead from the heating chamber into the annular heatin space between the upper section of the body and the paint vessel. The passage of the current of warm air through these openings is insured by constructing the lower section of the body with a band of perforations 15. A band of perforations 16 also extends about the upper section of the body, which, in connection with openings 17 at the top, serve for the escape of the air.

The pot has a bail or other suitable handle 18 by which it may be carried about in the manner of an ordinary paint bucket.

If desired, the upper section of the body of vthe ot may be disconnected and used without the amp. This connection between the two sections of the body also serves to give access to the lamp for cleaning, filling, repairing and for other urposes.

Having thus described my invention I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. A paint pot comprising abody composed of an upper and lower section, a lam within the lower section, a vessel for hol ing the paint, within the upper section, formin an annular heating space therebetween, an an insulating mat interposed between the lower section of the body and the vessel, having openings for the passage of the heated air from the lower section into the said space.

2. A aint pot comprising a body composed of an upper and lower section, the ower section having a band of erforations passin thereabout and provi ed with L- shape slots in the upper edge thereof, pins projecting from the up er section of the body adapted to be engagecFwithin saidslots and detachably connect the two sections of the body together, a lamp forming the bottom of n the lower section of the body, a vessel for holding the paint, within the upper section of the bod forming an annular heating space there etween, said upper section having a band of apertures passing thereabout with openings at the top for the passage of the air from said heating space7 an insulating pad inter osed between the bottom of the vessel an the lower section ofthe body, having marginal openings providing communication between the lower section of the body and the annular heating space, and a bail servingv as a handle for the pot7 attached to the upper section.

3. The combination of a body com osed of an upper and lower section detacha ly contion and the bottom of the vessel, having marginal openings providing comnnlnioation between the said lower section and said space.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of 25 two subscribing witnesses.
